Castletown River and Nature Festival 2023
12 August, 9am - 3:30pm
20 August, 1pm - 4pm
- Castletown National School
- Castletown Wexford
- Co. Wexford
We are holding a number of events to celebrate NHW. 11th Aug Bat Walk at Lavender Farm and use bat detectors to pick up a number of species in the woods. On the 12th we are holding a conference in Castletown National School headed Source to Sea Workshop with a number of experts on river and farm based biodiversity and with an exhibition covering local history, folklore/stories from the river written by children from the school and art.
The afternoon will have a field trip of the estuary area where we will again have experts on hand to point out the flora and fauna along the way. On Sunday 12th we will hold a Family Fun Day on Clone Beach where we will enjoy a nature search, sand art, races and a picnic. These events are open to all age groups although we expect the Workshop to be quite technical so more appealing to older people while the Fun Day will definitely be something for all the family
